Palestinian Gunmen Kill Israeli Woman in West Bank
21st August 2023
An Israeli woman was killed in a suspected Palestinian shooting attack near the West Bank city of Hebron on Monday, the Israeli military said.
Israel’s ambulance service said an Israeli man who was also seriously wounded in the incident was transferred to hospital and that a six-year-old who was in the car was “miraculously unharmed.”
The military said in a statement it had set up roadblocks and was searching for the suspects, who it said fired from a passing vehicle.
A spokesperson for the Islamist Hamas group that governs blockaded Gaza, Hazem Qassem, praised the attack and said it was a response to Israel’s ongoing assaults on Palestinians.
Israeli forces were already hunting for a Palestinian suspected of shooting and killing two Israelis on Saturday.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
A Muslim waits there
To try to kill you.
Especially when
You might be a Jew.
